Thomson, Margareta M.; Huggins, Erin; Carrier, Sarah J.; Gray, DeLeon – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The current study investigates the developmental trajectories of "novice elementary teachers' self-efficacy science beliefs", "their science instructional beliefs" and "science knowledge" over the course of participants' teacher preparation and into their first two years of teaching. Study results indicate changes in…

Stepp, Zachary A.; Brown, Julie C. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
There has long existed the argument that science teachers' self-efficacy directly correlates with instruction. Regarding self-efficacy for culturally responsive instruction (CRI), a promising equitable education approach, it is posited that lack of CRI exposure in coursework contributes to low self-efficacy and poor implementation. Yet, research…

Chen, Yi-Chun; Wu, Hsin-Kai; Hsin, Ching-Ting – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Recently, much importance has been placed on early science education. This study examined the associations between kindergarten teachers' science teaching self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and their integration of science into teaching, and investigated how four potential factors (i.e. mastery experience, interpersonal support, previous science…

Gyeong-Geon Lee; Heesoo Ha – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Science academic achievement is a key construct for examining students' science learning outcomes. While international comparative assessments like TIMSS and PISA have shown high science achievement of Korean middle school students, there is a lack of comprehensive investigation of factors influencing the achievement using domestic data.…

Lotter, Christine; Smiley, Whitney; Thompson, Stephen; Dickenson, Tammiee – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
This study investigated a professional development model designed to improve teachers' inquiry teaching efficacy as well as the quality of their inquiry instruction through engaging teachers in practice-teaching and reflection sessions. The programme began with a two-week summer Institute focused on both inquiry pedagogy and science content and…

Kiran, Dekant – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to examine the effectiveness of an inquiry-based laboratory course on preservice science teachers' (PSTs') science teaching efficacy beliefs. Second, this study also aimed to identify the ways in which efficacy change occurred in instructional strategies, classroom management, and student engagement…

Mills, Reece; Whiteford, Chrystal; Brown, Daniel; Tomas, Louisa – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
There is a need for robust, empirically-validated conceptualisations of teachers' attitudes towards teaching science, with a view to understand how these might explain their intention to teach science. The "Dimensions of Attitudes Toward Science" (DAS) theoretical framework suggests that cognitive, affective and perceived control…

Lytzerinou, Evangelia; Iordanou, Kalypso – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
The aim of the present study was to examine science and non-science education secondary school teachers' skill to evaluate arguments, and how this skill relates to their skill to construct arguments and to their perceptions about their ability to teach argumentation skills effectively. The study also examined whether teachers' argument skills and…

Kinskey, Melanie – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
Elementary teachers' science teaching self-efficacy has concerned researchers for many years. This case study explores the perceptions and experiences of an elementary preservice teacher as she engaged in action research to improve her science teaching self-efficacy. Findings suggest that action research provides the support and structure a…

Norris, Christina M.; Morris, Julia E.; Lummis, Geoffrey W. – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
According to international benchmarks [Thomson, S., Wernert, N., O'Grady, E., & Rodrigues, S. (2017). TIMSS 2015: Reporting Australia's results. Retrieved from Camberwell, Victoria: www.acer.edu.au/timss], Australia's science education is still in decline and so the need for further investigation into preservice teachers is warranted.…

Chi, Shaohui; Wang, Zuhao; Liu, Xiufeng – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This study aims to examine the moderating effect of teacher feedback on the associations among inquiry-based science teaching and learning practices and students' science-related attitudes and beliefs. The data set included 9, 841 15-year-old students from four Chinese provinces (Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Guangdong) who took part in the…

Sahin, Adam; Wright, Kimberly B.; Waxman, Hersh C. – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate how Harmony Public Schools' (HPS) ' Class of 2024 high school students' current selves (high school experience, math and science efficacy, parent, and teacher expectations) affect to possible future selves (i.e. choosing a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics [STEM]-major in college). 1464…

Aaron Price, C.; Chiu, A. – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
We present results of an experimental study of an urban, museum-based science teacher PD programme. A total of 125 teachers and 1676 of their students in grades 4-8 were tested at the beginning and end of the school year in which the PD programme took place. Teachers and students were assessed on subject content knowledge and attitudes towards…

Hackman, Salomey Tardy; Zhang, Danhui; He, Jingwen – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Many Liberian teachers have limited experiences and low efficacy for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), which results in students receiving little preparation and having low levels of motivation to pursue STEM careers in Liberia. Teacher attitudes are central for efficient teaching STEM. However, little is known…
